How to make the best out of a tough (meanie ) coach! ๐
Unfortunately, this comes up way too often. BUT! It's a part of sports - part of the game and competition.
If you haven't had a tough (meanie) coach yet, you're lucky, but you'll probably have this come up at some point. Even if it's an employer someday, a boss someday, maybe a teacher, or whatever!
But most of us have had those coaches that...
๐yell at you
๐belittle you
๐are so sarcastic it hurts
๐make you feel worthless
๐deplete your self confidence
๐the list could go on and on...
๐Bad news: You can't change them.
๐Good news: You can change you!
You're probably like, what?! Heck no! Coach blankity blank sucks, not me!
I know, I feel your pain! Been there, done that!
Here's the thing though...
You want these things below right?!
๐ชto feel happy
๐ชto have confidence
๐ชto play like a bad-@$&
๐ชto have fun
๐ชto not go home crying
That's what I thought! So, listen up! ๐๐๐
It's time to take control of you instead of worrying how the coach is, so YOU can start being those things we talked about above. ๐๐๐
โก๏ธStart visualizing and meditating! What this does is helps you get a better perspective - to see the big picture!
โก๏ธWhen a coach does something that might hurt think about this...
๐ He/she is just not conveying the message the best way - there is a disconnect in communication
๐ He/she ultimately wouldn't be dedicating all this time coaching if they hated you or coaching
๐ He/she might be hurting themselves and they don't know how to cope with it
โก๏ธMAIN FOCUS: Try your very best to hear the message. You don't have to take on their anger or emotion. You're in control of you and you're good! Take the message and keep going!
โก๏ธThink of it as an opportunity to be the bigger, more mature person! It's not easy, but its 100% possible!
How will you feel if you react this way instead?! ๐๐
Just talking about this fired me up! It's a game changer. It's EMPOWERING to think about how you have the control to take the message from the coach and not all of their crazy, angry emotion, and know YOU ARE GOOD! Be bigger! Be better! I promise you it will take you so much further in life and your sport!

You've go this girl/mom/dad! ๐
